Whether you are navigating challenging behaviors, looking for strategies to support inclusion, building a trauma-informed environment, or feeling unsure about next steps for a child in your care, Every Child Belongs can help connect you with support early — before challenges feel overwhelming.
You can reach out if:
- A child’s behavior feels challenging
- You are unsure how to meet a child’s needs
- You want support for your early learning environment
- You would like help supporting a child, or children, before things escalate
- You are overwhelmed and that is making it difficult to care for children
- Your program or community experienced a traumatic event and needs support processing it
Support may include infant and early childhood mental health consultation, technical assistance, behavioral support strategies, inclusion strategies, family engagement tools, professional development, and other resources.
Reaching out early, while challenges are still small, can make the difference in keeping children in care where they belong.
